month on the contact front line is of no use"

"Casualties are reported from both Armenia and Azerbaijan during
ceasefire violation on the contact front line".

The due announcement was made by Eldar Sabiroglu, spokesman for
Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry, commenting on the fact of death of
Azerbaijani soldier Arzuman Gurbanov on the front line.

Sabiroglu said not only Azerbaijan has casualties during the
ceasefire violation.

Sabiroglu reminded the announcement of Armenia’s prosecutor general
made during the collegium of Armenia’s General Prosecution, according
to which "27 out of 75 Armenian soldiers died in 2007 in the result
of ceasefire violation".

The representative of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense noted that
international organizations, wishing the peaceful resolution of the
conflict, should strengthen control over the ceasefire observation by
Armenians in the time when ceasefire violation intensifies.

"Large work is to be done by OSCE representative Anjey Kaspshik. As
we see, the monitoring, held once or twice a month on the contact
front line, is of no use. I think more effective methods should be
applied", he announced.
